Russell Sivey Poet Tanka

Awash On the Shore

Alone the pain hurts
Awash on the shore, beaten
Crushed by the harsh waves
No one there to hold onto
Love seemed to have escaped me

Russell Sivey

Judy Ball January 13, 2012 at 2:10 PM It's true that when we have no one with whom to share our lives we can feel as though we are stranded and alone. There is an old saying: "Oh Lord, the sea is so big and my boat is so small." Good write my friend. God Bless, JB

Robert Pettit January 12, 2012 at 9:09 PM Brian should like this tanka. It is more descriptive than most I have seen.
